April 18

Last night, Adam, Abby and I watched the '90s version of "Little Women" starring Winona Ryder, Clare Danes, Susan Sarandon et al.

So naturally, tonight's dinner conversation revolved around the selection of an all-male cast for the next re-make of said-film.

Proposed stars included Tom Hanks as Meg, Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson (because we always use his entire name in our house) as Jo, Jack Black as Beth (because ohmygravy, just imagine the death scene), Caillou as Amy, and Will Ferrell as Marmee March (although some of us were less than enthusiastic about Caillou's nomination). 

It was, of course, a completely ridiculous exchange, but it had all of us laughing aloud at some junctures (and one of us on the verge of choking on her water). It was silly, but amazing in its own weird way. And it made me thankful to realize how well our senses of humor mesh.
